technically nnedi3 with the highest neuron number. But the performance is very low and it doesn't work well on AMD hardware. Super xbr sharpness is basically preference, seems like a lot of ppl like the 100 value.

check if nnedi3 is actually being used with ctrl+j. you might have to go down to 1.2x scaling factor for 1080p videos, depending on aspect ratio. You can try lanczos 4 with antiringing if you want more sharpness than jinc, but it has more aliasing too. And you can try super xbr with maximum sharpness too instead of nnedi3.

I use mpc hc - is it possible to play Blu-ray discs and what is the most trouble free way to do this? I used make mkv but would like to just pop in a disc and play it like a dvd. Thank you

You will need to purchase AnyDVD. I got a lifetime license quite a number of years ago. AnyDVD is regularly updated via the internet but the software resides on your computer. I believe the decryption takes place on your computer and not over the internet.

Thank you very much. So all I do is download and install and it works perfectly with MPC HC - just play the Blu-ray like any other DVD?

Yes, anyDVD HD stays resident and will automatically scan discs and remove encryption when inserted into you optical drive. The scanning process will show on your monitor. When the scanning finishes you can go to Files in MPC-HC and open disk.

Extra Benefit that you did not ask about: Also, you may install virtual CloneDrive a free program from Slysoft.com if you also want to play files you have ripped to .iso. Install Virtual CloneDrive and assign a drive letter and play .iso files. MPC.HC will locate your movie as a disc on that virtual drive.

Thank you. Are there any quality or usability differences between powerdvd or mpc-hc with any dvd hd for Blu-ray playback?

MPC-HC really stands out for ripped media (like Blu Ray MKV files). Especially when coupled with madVR. I have found that the only way to reliably switch to 24Hz with ripped media is to use MPC-HC/madVR. Furthermore, MPC-HC works seamlessly with Emby, Kodi, etc. PowerDVD not so much (unless playing ISO files and/or 3D I think).

A big reason why I used that combo. Most of my content watching is Blu-Ray so MadVR really doesn't do much for me, but the refresh rate switching and ease of use in a CIH setup are why I still have it.

hello
i have this problem with my spdif out.
i download movies in MicroHD format and if audio is AC3 multichannel my home cinema is decoding the DTS or Dolby.
But if the mkv file has AAC 48KHz 6 channel AAC(LC) is decoding like PCM 2 channel and it has strangeDistortion.
this is the output :

I was hoping someone could give me a quick suggestion on quality settings I should be using for 1080p content on a 1080p television. I've used MadVR for a long time and im familiar with smooth motion and whatnot , but it seems they've added a ton of scalers and whatnot in recent versions, and im not sure what i should be aiming for here. HTPC is pretty powerful (2500K and Nvidia 780)
